Episode 1
Cute start.
It was the wedding of Xia Lin Xi and Jiang Zheng Han.
Gu Xiao Man asked Xia Lin Xin when she first knew the Jiang Zheng Han was the one.
Xia Lin Xi started reminiscing. She said that it was love at first sight that she did not recognise.
It happened in 2013 when they were in Grade 12.
Xia Lin Xi was the number 1 student in her school. During an examination, she woke up late and was very tardy coming to school. She missed the first part of the exam which made Chen Yi Chuan gloat at her. He told her that she could not be first in class anymore.
Chen Yi Chuan was always second to her.
But when the result of the exam was published, Xia Lin Xi was still number with 5 points score higher that the disbelieving Chen Yi Chuan.
Yi Chuan and Lin Xi are the class monitors and were tasked to bring their two absent classmates back to school for the ceremony for the NCEE (national college entrance examination).
Lin Xi asked Yi Chuan to go with her but he was not interested so it was left to her to find her errant classmates.
She found Jiang Zheng Han in a computer/gaming centre where he was the manager. The thing that she noticed most about him was his love of money. He charged for everything and he said as he was already 18, he was not interested in going back to school.
Lin Xi asked the other truant boy to turn off the power to the centre. While Jiang Zheng Han was otherwise engaged, she ran off with his laptop; she left him a note saying that she took it and he can get it back when he returns to school.
Lin Xi was the speaker during the ceremony.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that her neighbour and childhood sweetheart, Xin Yue, had come back for the ceremony.
He reminded her of their promised that she will enrol in the same university that he was already attending.
Anyway, Jiang Zheng Han started attending school not to learn but to get back the laptop, which ended up with the teacher.
Wang Anyu is gorgeous, very charismatic. The lead girl is very wholesome. They have a good chemistry.
Episode 2
Lin Xi could not understand why Jiang Zheng Han was bottom of the class when he was obviously a genius as she had found out when he became her math tutor.
Anyway, Jiang Zheng Han continued to wear his old school uniform. Their teacher told him to purchase the new version because he had to be uniform with his classmate.
The teacher tasked Lin Xi to make sure that Jiang Zheng Han pays the uniform. So she started stalking him as he kept saying he does not have the money when he must do with all the jobs he was engaged into.
Episode 3
Lin Xi is creepy. She had gone way beyond the duty of a class monitor.
She stalked Jiang Zheng Han. She followed him everywhere.
She found out that Jiang Zheng Han’s family went bankrupt when the factory his father was managing was raced by fire. It was the fault of one of the workers but his father took responsibility and even withdrew all his money and gave it away to those who suffered from the fire.
Jiang Zheng Han himself was doing the same thing. He works all hours to support those workers. That is why he was very particular with money.
LIn Xi ended up paying for his uniform.
Episode 4
Yi Chuan was being harassed by men of mafia man. Jiang Zheng Han saved him but instead of becoming grateful, he told the school that he was a member fo the mafia and that he beat people up.
Jiang Zheng Han was ready to walk out but LIn Xi talked him out of it. He was impressed with her because she went to the Mafia boss to clear things out with the school.
The Dean decided to give him a mother chance but he had to be on the top 100 of the school for the mock exam.
Yi Chuan was very dismissive of him. He said he will leapfrog in the school ground if Jiang Zheng Han makes the cut because he was bottom of the class.
Episode 5
Jiang Zheng Han tried to study but he was not helped by Lin Xi’s obsession of him. She would turn up everywhere he would be. Even if she sees he was studying she could not help herself but interrupt.
Episode 6
Lin Xi’s mother misinterpreted what was going on with Lin Xi and her tutor who was Jiang Zheng han. She thought they were in a love relationship. She fired him but he was leaving anyway as he got a call from his mother.
Lin Xi was so upset, she begged him to stay.
With heavy heart, he told her to go back home. He left.
Lin Xi really felt the loss of Jiang Zheng that her studies suffered. From being number one, she dropped to no 11, outside the top 10 which meant she can’t go to Jing Hua university.
Episode 7
She did get to Jing Hua University to study Economics. And so did Gu Xiao Man who was studying Chinese. Also her rival in the family, Yi Chuan was doing IT.
Yi Chuan was surprised to note that one of his dorm mates was Jiang Zheng Han but he thought it was just coincidence.
But nope. Jiang Zheng Han was there and made himself known to Lin Xi immediately who told him that she had forgotten him.
Episode 8
Lin Xi does not want anything to do with Jiang Zheng Han.
Jiang Zheng is a good friend of Xin Yue. They did not realise that they are pursuing the same girl.
Speaking of girl, Shi Ying developed a crush of Jiang Zheng Han.
Episode 9
Lin Xi was supposed to have a welcome dinner with Xin Yue but she cancelled it to go save Jiang Zheng Han because Xiao Man said that he was going to be in a fight.
But there was no fight.
Jiang Zheng Han had a stomach ache because he drank the alcohol that Lin Xi was being forced to drink by their seniors.
So Lin Xi made him the most unappetising porridge. Lin Xi was unsure whether it would be good enough to give to Jiang Zheng Han.
Chu Xiu Yan said that it was okey because “It is about intention not taste.”
And she was right because Jian Zheng Han enjoyed eating it despite the taste. So cute. Love Wang An Yu.
Duan Ning tried to chat Xiao Man but Yi Chuan turned up and told Duan Ning not to disturb Xiao Man anymore.
Jiang Zheng An started a math club and Lin Xi joined.
Episode 10
Zhuang Yufei was throwing tantrums because her aborted one-sided love for Jiang Zheng Han.
Jiang Zheng Han and Xie Yue finally found out that they are chasing the same girl.
They started competing for Lin Xi.
Xie Yue gave a grand birthday party for Lin Xi. He invited all her friends and his as well but not Jiang Zhang Han.
Episode 11
Jiang Zheng hacked the digital tv at the party and interrupted Xie Yue’s confession with one of his.
Lin Xi got worried when he seemed to fall from his bike and went to see him. He confessed that he wanted to confess to her first before Xie Yue.
Lin Xi got upset because they were making her into a contest rather what they really feel about her.
Professor Xu saw Lin Xi trying to solve a complicated mathematical equation on the board. He then invited her to join the computer varsity.
She found out that Jiang Zheng Han and Xie Yue are already members as well as Shi Ying, who has a one-sided love for Xie Yue.
She was nasty to Lin Xi at first but when she saw that Lin Xi favours Jiang Zheng, she calmed down a bit.
There was their first internal contest and it was a tough one.
Xie Yue with Shi Ying and Che Yi Chuan as his team members were winning at first but in the end, Jiang Zheng Han with Lin Xi and Duan Ling won.
They were going to celebrate but Jiang Zheng Han said that he was going to his dorm to drop something. On his way, a gorgeous girl surprised him with a tight hug.
Episode 12
The girl was the computer varsity goddess of Cheng university. She was Shen wen Yue.
Lin Xi saw them riding a motorcycle where the girl was all over him.
Obviously, Lin Xi got upset because she was on the verge of accepting Jiang Zheng Han but now saw him very familiar with another girl.
As a reward for their excellent contest performance, Professor Xu approved an away day for the Computer varsity.
There was drinking in their outing and Lin Xi drank a lot but refused to speak with Jiang Zheng Han who found out from Xiao Man why Lin Xin was giving him the cold shoulder treatment.
He followed Lin Xi to the lighthouse and told her that Shen Wen Yue was just a childhood friend who he last saw when they were 6 years old. They had obviously kept in touch and found that they share the same love for motorcycle. But if Lin Xi does not want him to do motorcycle then he will give it up.
He added that he had only like one person and that was her. She was also his first kiss.
Lin Xi was so moved. She gave him a drunken kiss.
They did agree to keep the relationship a secret especially from her cousin, Yi Chuan, so her mother won’t find out.
I really love this drama. The lead girl is so pretty and has a lot of chemistry with Wang `Yu that their relationship is so believable.

Episode 16
Xin Yue was told by his father that they need the investment from the Xu’s otherwise their company will go down.
Why did they give gorgeous Yuan Hao a terrible hairstyle?!!!
Anyway, Xu Zhi Li, the heir to the XV company was arrogant and look down on Xin Yue but he offered Jiang Zheng Han as job which he turned down.
Episode 17
Shen Wen Yue was harassing Lin Xi so that she withdraws from the competition.
Lin Xi however just ignored her.
She had learned programming in two days from her cousin, Yi Chuan who was chuffed as her teacher. He had always been competitive with her. They do secretly adore each, he treats her as his sister and she thinks of him as her annoying brother.
After the first round, Shen Wen Yue came to see her to say that Lin Xi had improved so well.
Lin Xi told her that she does not need her vindication as long as she believes in herself.
Jiang Zheng Han’s team won and he had a lovely romantic hug on the stage with Lin Xi which made Xin Yue very upset.
Episode 18
Lin Xi’s mother came to see Lin Xi as Xin Yue was forced to confess that Lin Xi was dating Jiang Zheng Han.
The mother went mental as she thinks Jiang Zheng Han was far too inferior compared to them and Xin Yue.
Yi Chuan tried to help and he was developing a lovely bromance with Jiang Zheng Han.
Anyway, it was end of term and Lin Xi and Yi Chuan went back to their hometime for the vacation.
Lin Xi was rather put out that her mother arranged a ‘blind date’ for her on her first night at home.
Xin Yue was there with his parents who started talking about marriage between the two.
They told Xin Yue to make a toast to LIn Xi and he duly did but Lin Xi said that she hope to continue being a sister to him.
Speaking of Yi Chuan, he blew it with Gu Xiao Man. He likes her but he could not admit it to her which humiliated her so much she decided to give up on him and start dating Duan Ning.
